Geeky knitting

Well, not as geeky at the Klein bottle hat but subtly geeky:

The color changes might save this from being very boring to knit, though it does gain points by being knit in one piece from the top down. I love top down sweaters, they have only two seams (the underarms) which can be woven closed to render the sweater effectively seamless. Unfortunately, this one doesn't do the sleeves in the round for some reason, leaving a sleeve seam and the underarm. Odd. I don't see any reason why other than avoiding switching needles. I'd probably cast on the under arm stitches, join the sleeve in the round and work it as normal, switching from shorter circulars to double points (or trying out that knitting a small round on two circular needles trick I've heard about).

While I'd have to alter this pattern to fit me it's really very basic so I'm adding it to the collection of patterns I would like to knit up one day. :)

The colors don't appeal to me either (other than the blue, the blue is nice). I don't think I've ever knit a sweater with the listed colors, or even the same yarn brand, in my life. :D

If/when I do tackle it I'll probably do shades of one or two colors, and keep the colors close to the same hue (blue and blue-greens for instance). *eyes the four color paint chips she picked up today, hmm*
